Most of our knowledge about bacterial functional roles in microbiomes comes from bulk measurements. Yet microbial communities are complex ecosystems in which functionally distinct bacterial subpopulat...

Food Microbiome Metabolic Modules (F3M), a tool suite for functional profiling of food microbiomes

Antibiotic-induced disruption of the gut microbiome leads to a transient loss of microbiome diversity (bacterial and viral) and causes blooms of bacteria and their viruses. Our analysis suggests that ...

Background The characterization of complex microbial communities is a critical challenge in microbiome research, as it is essential for understanding the intricate relationships between microorganisms...

An analysis of fecal microbiome data from individuals in the United States, United Kingdom, and Mexico shows that associations with dietary components vary both by country and by level of resolution (i.e., genus and strain). Our work sheds light on why ...

Human gut bacteria bioaccumulate per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), commonly known as forever chemicals, in intracellular aggregates. Colonization of gnotobiotic mice with bioaccumulating bac...

The human gut harbors thousands of microbial species, each exhibiting significant inter-individual genetic variability. Although many studies have ass…

Brief ciprofloxacin exposure in humans drives antibiotic resistance evolution in gut bacteria through selective sweeps, particularly involving DNA gyrase mutations, which persist long after exposure a...

A sequential propagation strategy shows how the microbes initially on seeds are key to building complex, reproducible and heritable plant microbiomes.
